My neighbor has a carb on his Gt. When I first heard it run after he finally pulled it out of the garage I didnt think it was a 4.6 in it so I asked him "what have you put in there" and he said "a 4.6" and he showed me its a 4.6 with heads, cam, turbo and its carbed. I dont know all of his specifics and he hasnt had it dynoed but that car sounds damn good and it just makes the motor sound altogether different. He said he best thing was going carbed and ditching the injectors and he said just changing out the jets is a Hell of alot cheaper than switching out injectors.

I like the idea of EFI over carb'd

No arguing though that this is a cool build though. I'm very interested to see what it runs at the track

and once again, i'm with wannabe. this is a cool *** biuld and it does sound very healthy. but i'd have to say a PROPERLY equipped efi setup will outperform a carb in driveability and mpg's, and either come close or make more power.

Well i do know that you can make a lot more power with a carb. And yeah it is more simple to tune but what i was meaning is why carb on a stock block?
